1.8GB. And the PSP actually has a very respectable number of units sold; it isn't the Saturn of handhelds or anything here, more like the N64 or GC (and it's outsold the SNES globally). Problem is no one's apparently buying any games for it.

That's better than I thought. I would have guessed 1.5

Which means we have a portable game that's somewhere between 2 and 3 gigs. That's pretty damn big. Is it FMV heavy? I mean the screenshots don't make it look too content heavy (data size speaking) I'm no deigner so that's speculation on my part, but it's really not too fancy looking.

I did like what I saw in the screenshot of the first game. I like the art style. I don't know if it's the colors they used or the 16/32 sized characters or what, but it's cool.

That sounds more like Hexyz Force. I'm getting more a Lunar vibe from what I've seen heard, something that isn't particularly original or unique (especially by today's standards) but is likable and charming enough to win a lot of people over. Well, the ridiculously detailed setting is something Lunar doesn't have, but only Bioware's stuff seems to compare in that regard.

That was actually what I meant, but I guess my impressions of Crimson Gem Saga are wrong.

It had to be sad. Crimson Gem Saga had the worst ending to a game ever.

ES pulled random Japan-magic, and unfortunately ruined a historical character by flamboyantizing the fuck out of him (imagine lying on your death bed to dream up anime video game, I'd die happy, but not for the right reasons). Crimson Gem just ended and offered a wiener epilogue and "hopes" of some sort of sequel.

That's because nobody is selling them. I either have to go to the right GameStop or maybe the local outlet retailer and hope for the best for this. A lot of retailers just simply consider the system dead or have KH:BbS and a few shoveware titles and nothing else.

Retailers all got smacked for the PSP Go fiasco, selling people a system and games that didn't work for it. I know local spots really suffered for it, but major retailers just laughed it off (fuck you shitstop). I think more than anything, this is what affected the huge decline in PSP UMD sales...people not wanting to carry them.

My local gaming store plus most department stores I frequent have little to no psp selection. Gaming store, like what has been said earlier by another, has mainly only a used selection. From a realistic standpoint I don't know if this second chapter is going to see the light of day here in the states. Don't get me wrong...I really want the rest of this trilogy to come out but with the psp vanishing more and more from stores I don't see how. I notice the difference every month I'm in the stores...less and less to choose from. If the next game is over a year out in terms of a development process then how is it possible we'll see it released? Not only that, why would XSeed tackle such a large project on a system (that at the time of this game's production) was dying and now to be just about finished and a year from now the NGP will be the system to concentrate on.

Thanks XSeed for bringing the title to us fans...please bring the rest of the trilogy.

It'd be nice if they could release the last two together or something then - despite the pain in the ass and unrealistic-ness of the request. But as you say, PSP's day seem quite numbered despite the few Japanese developers that are really trying and keeping it alive. I still say it's a pretty good system, damn shame the thing was so easy to hack.
